Image Productions 1 9 9 3 T h e O r i g i n The Image Productions of today did not start off to be as big as it has gotten. To the great surprise of me this little known group which started out as a local 804 group, has been growing rapidly in the past month. It will hopefully becoming a respected group in the underground scene, and shall hopefully continue to grow and gain respect from the people that think we will fail. Ok, Image Productions started in the very beginning of August. At that time we were using the name Valiant, which of course we changed after hearing over the possibility of another group called Valiant coming back. Anyways so we took the name iMAGE PRODUCTIONS, which I chose cause I thought it sounded pretty cool ;) . Anyways it was started by me, Cybernary, after I decided to form a local group for fun. After calling some LD boards I had seen lots of work from the bigger groups and thought it would be cool to have a group that good. I then finally got my board up and everything was going cool, iMAGE was becoming known in my local area and my board was doing great. But then it hit me , two shots at once, first my modem started doing cwazy things. Such as connecting at baud rates of like 7200, and 60. That was bad enough that my modem had crashed, then I got hit right in the bank with a $300+ phone bill. Anyways, I recently got my modem fixed, not sure how just put it back in, re-installed it and it worked great. Although I cant seem to connect at speeds under 9600 but hey who gives a care?? Not me. Anyways so I have my modem back, and started re-organizing the group after a hiatus running it, in which time we went now where, realy fast. I started once again calling some boards long distance and this time decided to see if anyone was interested in joining, well I was lucky enough to get some people interested, some of whom include Shattered Mind , Death Karnage who was with LOGiC before coming over to us as a game reviewer and LiT member, Neurotik Oppressor who is the head of our newly formed TelComm Division. This was a big jump for us! Thing have realy started to get going here at Image and I hope it will continue to do so. Since then we have come into contact with a brand new couriering group who is going to courie our releases for us (Lupus Courieing groups (sp?) headed by Jester), and also a Net entitled iNSANiTY iNTERNATiONAL which was started by our very own Shattered Mind. We also now have a base in ELUSiVE NET which we owe to Jester, thanks man! So that is were we stand, a new group that is building a foundation in the underground scene and looking to claim stake to its niche in the scene. Watch for us I fell confident we will go far, and accomplish alot, all that you read up there was accomplished in less then a month so just think we can do in a couple months. We are a group on the move so watch for our Splitting Image releases and enjoy the ride you are about to take with us ;) Cybernary President - Image Productions and The Whole Image Productions Crew ---------------------------------------------------------------------- That was written a few weeks ago, and since then we have semi- merged with a small, and even more little known group called iMAJ which was almost entirely dead. It was being run by dARK iMAGE an artist who was formely in EViL but for some reason did not follow over into BaD in that merge . So anyways he has come over to iMAGE PRODUCTIONS along with two of his Literary people, The Killer Tomato and Fallen Angel. So hopefully they will contribute some good work. Also since then I GOT IN CONTACT WITH SOME members of a small group called FEAR which iMAGE had merged with anyways, we finally got in contact with them and got some talent of the likes of Veritech and Black Tombstone , Veritech has released some work under iMAGe already but BT has not so I have enclosed some of his recent work, I think you will like it ;) Well that is about it, things are going great. and OH! I cant forget our newest artist, and one with alot of talent! He just recently started ansi, but is already on his way to be a respected artist, his name is Dragonfyre and he has alot of talent, check out DF-MAXX.IMG. Well once again, that is about it. Look for our next pack coming out at the end of November-beginning of December it should be a good one, and hopefully we will continue getting more talent. iMAGE is here to stay, and not just dissapear, so keep an eye out for us!
